Also known as Western Yarrow and Milfoil, this spreading, perennial herb has feathery compound leaves and grows to 3 feet tall. Its flower heads are arranged in large, flat, compact clusters at the top of the stem. There is some confusion over the categorization of this species in North America, as substantial hybridization has occurred between native and Eurasian strains. Common Yarrow forms spreading colonies and may be best suited for naturalized areas, growing in full sun to partial shade, and in dry soil.
